i think i could find it amusing if they were from NY or the family of a victim(s). as it is, they just seem to be taking advantage of the crisis for the chance of monetary gain. sure, they'll never get it, but they still seem like assholes for trying.

I was making a joke, having lived in South Florida David could be any race.What if they got the money then gave like 100,000 to every American. I'd go for that.But this is very ridiculus.I smell Johnny Cochrane somewhere.....

Ok, who wants to join in a lawsuit against David Pitchford and David Bruner on the context that they are giving everybody in this country a bad name.

The fact that they said they would donate "some" of the winnings to the relief fund is possibly the worst thing I have ever heard. The greed of these to morons is unbelievable, to think that they honestly feel they deserve to get bin Laden's assets, even though I doubt that this has had anything more than emotional effect on them. If anyone, EVER gets ahold of bin Laden's money, it should go straight to the state government of NY and to the District of Columbia to help rebuild so that money doesn't have to be taken away from schools and other state organizations, causing more suffering with the inevitable loss of jobs.

The whole world hears about American bullshiat lawsuits such as this. Please remember it only takes a small number of assholes to make the rest look bad. Out of over 280+ million people, do you expect them all to be intelligent?

My question is why are the idiots so damn good at getting international press?

Farking opportunists. If the guy had half an ethic, he'd be donating it all. Instead, he's using it for his own personal gain.

I can't remember the source. But there was a company that surveyed the American public, and a staggering number of people said that they're going to pay for their retirement by winning the lottery, or suing someone's pants off. If anyone can find the source, I'll stick my tongue in their ear. :)

I know not all americans are that bad.... but you don't heard about British attorneys making their living as an ambulance chaser.

I'm Canadian - live right near the US border, and on the American station we get to see the attorneys doing commercials on TV, saying 'we'll get you the money you deserve'. That is SO not helping this crazy stereotype...

What a pair of farkwits. As if the courts don't have enough bullshiat to wade through. Good going, fellas.

There is no entity in the world with liquid assets of over one trillion - even the richest man has less than a tenth of that in total assets, so how the fark are they to be paid? Surely they also miss the point that Osama isn't going to recognise the authority of the US court system. Hell, if I was slapped with a $1.1x10E12 lawsuit, I wouldn't either.

Finally, something tells me that the 'threat' of 'personal injury' that these guys received from an attack halfway across the country is somewhat less than $50 billion in worth. Hell, it's not even worth shiats and giggles...

Peaches: Have some fun with the fear of powdery white substances. Sooner or later some one is going to start the urban legend that cocaine is being laced anthrax. When it happens, give cokeheads a vial and say there is a strong possibility it contains anthrax. Make bets with your friends beforehand on whether the guy will snort it anyway.I put my money on yes.

"'Basically, he's threatened myself and every American in this country,' Pitchford said. ''It's against the law to threaten anybody in Florida. Based on that, he's intentionally inflicted emotional distress.'"

Well, his logic is irrefutable...

</sarcasm>

Did anyone else think this was a satire piece at first? I was shocked when it turned out to be legit.

Oh no, elevated blood pressure and a stomach ulcer. Let's crush the dude under a few hundred tons of concrete, or kill his entire family for no apparent reason and then listen to what he has to say about hardship. Asshole.

Apparent Nuisance: Coke and anthrax, they will snort it. Anyone remember the pot and (sheesh, what WAS the name of the defoliant used?) back in the 70's? Didn't slow any of us down. Probably also why I can't remember what the stuff was...

Max got it. Maybe the stuff really did burn out brain cells (or could it just be the many years of weed?).

Smoky, some places are making the loser pay all costs for both sides if the loser is the one bringing the suit and if it's judged to be frivolous (suing because the leaves off your neighbor's tree fall in your yard), they also get fined.

actually, buttbot, he intends to donate all of it to various charities. ALL of it goes to charity but SOME of it goes to the relief fund for new york, which if you ask me is getting way too much attention. my city has farkin' problems too. we have a country record for homeless and areas with a lot of drug problems, and our bridges are falling apart to the point where it is possible to drive your car off them by accident. we aren't even in the U.S., yet, our city sends money to new york. Why? because its a publicity stunt.
